W WA AR RN NI IN NG G: : Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: • Lead from lead-based paints. • Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

This Cut-off saw is equipped with a grounded 3-wire power cord with a 3-prong plug. If the power cord will not fit into the wall plug, an approved adapter can be used as long as it is connected to the center screw in the wall plate. See Figure 1 and the steps below to use an AC grounding adapter: 1. Remove the cover plate mounting screw. 2. Insert the AC grounding adapter into the bottom receptacle so the green grounding lug fits over the screw hole. 3. Install the mounting screw back into the cover plate securely affixing the adapter to the receptacle.

E EX XT TE EN NS SI IO ON N C CO OR RD D U US SA AG GE E Extension cords are not recommended for use with this saw. Extension cords, if used, must be properly grounded with a 3-prong plug on one and a 3-hole recepta- cle on the other. D DO O N NO OT T u us se e g gr ro ou un nd di in ng g a ad da ap pt te er rs s w wi it th h a an n e ex xt te en ns si io on n c co or rd d. . Extension cords must be UL listed and use a minimum of 18 A.W.G. wiring. Extension cords should never exceed 25 feet in length. Extension cords, that are too long, cause a voltage drop over the extra distance causing the saw motor to run slower with the possibility of causing damage to the motor. Using extension cords with smaller than the recommended wire gauge run the risk of getting too hot, melt- ing, and/or causing fires. See table, “Extension Cord Specifications”, on page 26.

Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted. C CH HE EC CK K D DA AM MA AG GE ED D P PA AR RT TS S. . Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other con- ditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced. D DI IR RE EC CT TI IO ON N O OF F F FE EE ED D. .

The electrical power source for this Cut-off saw M MU US ST T be grounded in order to prevent possible electric shock or even death should the tool malfunction or break down. Grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current thus reduc- ing the risk of electrical shock. The power source must also use a minimum 20A service. Multiple power tools should never be used on the same circuit at the same time.

It is highly recommended that the 14 Cut-off saw be securely mounted to a tool stand. This is to prevent excessive vibration during use. Mount the Cut-off saw to the tool stand by: 1. Most tool stands have pre-drilled holes to accommodate a variety of tools. 2. If the tool stand does not have an exact match for the holes, try to align the tool base with as many pre-drilled holes as pos- sible. Mark and drill new holes for mounts that have missing holes. 3. Insert four 1/4 X 20 screws and washers through the underside of the tool stand and up through the rubber feet on the base of the Cut-off saw. The length of the screws should be 1 (25mm). 4. Tighten the screws securely.

To use the quick lock release mechanism, follow the steps below. See Figure 8. 1. Release the tension on the screw clamp by turning the handle counterclockwise for 1/2 to 1 full turn. 2. Lift the quick lock lever up and pull back the screw clamp handle sliding the vise open. 3. To tighten, lift the quick lock lever up and push the screw clamp for- ward against the workpiece. 4.
